GPT HDD is only writable when formatted with NTFS, is read only with EXT4
I have a 1TB sata gpt hdd that I removed from an apple time capsule and I am attempting to use it with Xubuntu 18.04. It initially had HFS+ partitions on it however I wiped those and made the whole drive one partition EXT4. Whenever I mounted it after that it would be read only. I then tried formatting it with NTFS. It is now writeable. Im wondering why EXT4 would not work and NTFS does? I dont know what dumps to include but here is fdisk -l
